1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION AND

objectivesThe Prostate Imaging Reporting and Data System (PI-RADS) version 2 emerged as standard in prostate magnetic resonance imaging examination. The Pi-RADS scores are assigned by radiologists and indicate the likelihood of a clinically significant cancer. The aim of this paper is to propose a methodology to automatically mark a magnetic resonance imaging with its related PI-RADS. MATERIALS AND

methodsWe collected a dataset from two different institutions composed by DWI ADC MRI for 91 patients marked by expert radiologists with different PI-RADS score. A formal model is generated starting from a prostate magnetic resonance imaging, and a set of properties related to the different PI-RADS scores are formulated with the help of expert radiologists and pathologists.

resultsOur methodology relies on the adoption of formal methods and radiomic features, and in the experimental analysis, we obtain a specificity and sensitivity equal to 1. Q

conclusionsThe proposed methodology is able to assign the PI-RADS score by analyzing prostate magnetic resonance imaging with a very high accuracy.
